It seems to be raining bikes today, as Range Rover takes the BMW road and enters the cycling arena. But unlike BMW, this concept is a road bike and not a racer. Designed by Gerry McGovern, the recreational vehicle concept is called the Range Rover Evoque concept road bike. Taking a cue from the car it’s built on, the bike sports a high modulus carbon fiber monocoque frame, which has been handmade by Karbona. The car features an F1 race car style building approach with aerospace alloy handlebars and composite seat post to keep the weight light. This bike will also come with a 20-gear Shimano Ultegra system and also bear the Range Rover and Evoque styled graphics.
Luxurious like all its SUVs, the bike will come with a leather seat and silicone-gel grips for added comfort. This single unit concept road bike was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Hopefully a market friendly model will be in the pipeline soon.
